Features
Fully Discrete, identical quality and power for all
7 channels (125 W x 7ch)
The unit is equipped with a power amplifier that plays back high-
fidelity sound in surround mode with equal quality and power for all
channels, true to the original sound.
The power amplifier circuit adopts a discrete-circuit configuration
that achieves high-quality surround sound play back.
Supports HDMI 1.4 with 3D, ARC, Deep Color,
x.v.Color , Auto Lipsync and HDMI control
function
This unit can output 3D video signals input from a Blu-ray Disc
player to a TV that supports a 3D system. This unit also supports
the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, which plays back TV
sound with this unit via an HDMI cable used for connecting the
unit and a TVz.
z
z The TV should support the ARC function.
4-HDMI inputs and 1-output
The unit is equipped with 4 HDMI input connectors for connecting
devices with HDMI connectors, such as a Blu-ray Disc player,
game machine, HD video camera, etc.
High Definition Audio Support
The unit is equipped with a decoder which supports high-quality
digital audio format for Blu-ray Disc players such as Dolby TrueHD,
DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.
Dolby Pro Logicgz
The unit is provided with a Dolby Pro Logicgz decoder. When you
play back the sound in Dolby Pro Logicgz playback with front height
speakers connected to the unit, you can enjoy playback sound with
rich spacial expression.
Easy to use, On Screen Display
Simple settings are enabled with the setting menus displayed on
the TV screen. When you control the sound volume, the volume
level is displayed on the screen, and when you switch the input
source, the name of the input source is displayed.
2
Auto setup function
The unit is provided with an Auto setup function which
automatically makes speaker settings best suited for the listening
environment. The sound from the speakers is picked up with the
supplied microphone. Reflecting sound and audio characteristics of
speakers are measured, and settings for an optimum sound field
are automatically made.
All Sources are Up-Scaled to 1080p
The unit is provided with an HDMI video upscaling function that
converts an analog video signal input to the unit to a 1080p (HD
resolution) signal and supplies it to a TV via the HDMI connector.
This enables the unit and a TV connected with a single HDMI cable
and any video source to be reproduced precisely with HD level of
quality.
Direct Play for iPod and iPhone via USB
Music data from an iPod can be played back if you connect the
USB cable supplied with the iPod via the USB port of this unit, and
also an iPod can be controlled with the remote control unit for this
unit.
When an iPod is connected, merely pressing iPod PLAY on the
main unit or remote control unit starts playback of music from the
iPod.
Cautions on handling
Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
About Condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units
before moving the unit.
About Care
Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.
Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.
Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as
insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought
into contact with the unit, and should, therefore, not be used.
